  • Circling is a new practice and a way of relating that is growing all over the world. By relating in the present moment - beyond stories, expectations and predetermined ideas about who you are - Circling has the capacity to reveal your unique gifts, set a new precedent for what is possible in authentic relationships, and generate radical transformation, personal growth and mindfulness.

    This was one of the top listings when I googled 'circling'...and I assumed since this was posted, that the creators felt this was an example of a good session.
    I hope this isn't really considered a good example of what circling is, because it was really asinine, and if continued as a practice, could be very harmful to the recipients of this (in that a person like this woman could feel she'd discovered something about herself, something helpful, when really, all that happened was that she was puffed up with obscure and ambiguous compliments by people who acted as though they knew her..when they did not know her at all).
    A gratuitous display of the most feeble of platitudes wrapped up in strange jargon, tied together with layer upon layer of ego-stroking... and put into her mind as though they are helpful to her? Truly bizarre.
    I have seen/experienced groups where people care about each other in true ways, and truly help each other; this 'we act like we're intimate with you when we just met' is not that kind of group!
    Side note, Did anyone else find all the strange 'agreement humming/moaning' rather...um...awkward?

      It seems to me that people who loudly "hmm" in agreement in a group of people are seeking attention off of other people's comments. Like, "yes, you said something, but now pay attention to me paying attention to you." One on one communication is different, and showing that you are listening is good.

    Seeing this, through the eyes of a fairly strong, dominant man, I realize this is a part of my personality that I could really stand to develop. Looking at this from my perspective… It’s way over the top for what I would want to be personally, it seems like some real touchy-feely hippie drum circle ( well meaning ) People that allow their emotions to be the first filter of their minds . My first feelings are that too much of this will put peoples feeling first and makes people easily led to slaughter. This world doesn’t lend itself very well to lambs. I believe stoicism would be a good balance to this. We need to become warriors of our mind, as well as empathetic and sympathetic to others. It’s amazing and good for sure .

      Strong dominance is good until your institutions are corrupt to the core.
      Empathy and emotion is great until it leads to this "collective" vs "individual" dichotomy where collective is emphasized. In this case the empathetic and the dominant both did us in. Big farma and government made the sheep be their experiment.

    I could only get about 15 min in, but is the point of circling to speak your TRUE feelings in order to be authentic - or what feelings people want to be true? I hear people reflecting others statements to hear them, but there were times I doubted that people saying things really believed them. Yet nobody says anything about doubting.
    This seems like an affirmation only approach, which can be good if a person needs practice being open. However, I can see this quickly become dangerous, as demonstrated here, because there is no challenge to ground feelings with reality. Sure, I can feel angry/joy/etc - but there is an important next step which is to decide the reality of what those feelings are telling me.
    I may feel fear, when in reality I am suffering unhealthy, and unrealistic anxiety. Just sharing my fear over and over is clinically going to lead you into more and into destructive patterns. Feelings are fleeting and do not always reveal reality.
    So, I think circling is a good way for people to first learn to share and hear others; but you should quickly move beyond it to deeper emotional intelligence efforts that root feelings in reality and productive actions.

    • @Vyrkgrl
      @Vyrkgrl Před 5 lety +1

      You doubt the circlers authenticity and find it dangerous to just agree with their feelings as it prevents them from grounding in reality? What is your experience of me asking that question?
      Honestly, this practice often opens up people to be much deeper.
      Challenging happens more as people get used to authentic relating. "It seems like you aren't being genuine?" "Please reveal why you want to ask them that question." But most important would be to own it from the self perspective. "I have the sense that you aren't being genuine, is that true?"
      Noticing it also may be your own filter in the world to doubt others intention or even question their tone of voice also can reveal a lot.

      @@Vyrkgrl I feel like all this is too forced to be authentic, it seems more pretending to be penetrating and deep and pretending to believe what pretty words others are saying just to feel better about yourself, which may work for a little while. Big smiles and teary eyes but does anybody ever say that they think someone is ugly, or smells bad, or has irritating tics or behaviors, or that they dislike them without knowing why exactly, or that they're doubting whether this is any genuine at all, or that they think this thing may be making people weaker? If not, then that's a problem I think, because then this isn't genuine at all, then it's just fake peptalk.

      I watched all of it and this reminded me of Gestalt personal development groups. After a woman said, 'And that reminds me of a past life experience I had...' it began to feel more like a spiritual, affirmation-based coaching circle.
      If this is an accurate representation of what circling is, it feels to me like a branded, amalgamated version of a few things that already exist. I'm not seeing anything new, though I can see how it can be valuable.
      I commend the woman who shared so openly. It's one thing to do that in a group, it's another thing to put that on the internet.

    I like Circling except when people try and interpret each other's reporting.
    I realize that Circling uses Facilitators, and this is part of the role of facilitation: penetrating with inquiry and awareness, inviting the articulation to come out. It's hard to do this in a clean and non-invasive way.
    NVC might be able to help with this issue.

    @mikea6710 Před rokem +2

    Just heard this terminology, 'circling'. Is it just the art of not thinking the urgent 'hurry the f up, just say it'.. this how I interpret it. I sometimes suffer the 'lag' when I talk, to the point I tell myself to 'hurry the f up'. I feel this circling thing won't cure me, all my life, for 30+ years I talk with myself, full conversations.. I knew/know I'm not normal, but I don't give a crap what people think, however I try to conceal it, very well if I say so myself.. sometimes it's a burden, and through years I have found the conversations with myself is infinitely more intellectual than when I'm speaking to someone whose not me, which kind of depresses me.. but I've accepted it, and grew to, as mentioned, not give a crap.
    I say this circling thing won't 'cure' me, because years ago, my own self therapy for it was to just talk to people, about anything, especially when I felt like not talking, and especially when the other wouldn't expect me to talk .. I've become 'better' at communicating and socialising (it was never an issue), but this self conversation thing is still strong, perhaps grows stronger as time goes..
    I like it though, It actually helps me keeps me happy, objective and opportunistic .. y'know like having my own therapist trying to lay it down and talk it through
    As mentioned above, the only regret I have is, somehow I cannot speak the way I do myself, onto others.. this might sound weird, but even my voice is different... Not sure why I'm posting this here, tbh this is the first I've 'explained' this thing to anyone... Maybe just the vibe I get from the vid

      Though, I agree theyre emotional vampires, I feel these peoples must be doing this for the first time, or one of the first time.. I reckon, when people are finally free to feel like they want to, or need to be open with others, they will inflict their own baggage first e.g. say, some gossip butterfly does this for the first time, out of a suggestion from a friend, the gossip girl is going to spend a vast proportion of their emotional energy comparing others with other people they know whom have the same "issues".. I'm guessing, after years of doing this, they won't be able to hear their intuition that runs comparisons, but be pure and actually open their inner selves... So it's like sport,.. it take practice.

    I think we learned from circling by the questions that are asked… It’s not so much the people that are being circled as much as it is to learn how to pull this out from people. Unfortunately, I think it gives an unrealistic idea because most people won’t be this touchy-feely. I want to see how this is done to average people that might not be as open to their feelings. I think it’s a wonderful tool to be able to empathize and draw this out from people.

    I’ve been in a circling group for a few months. I’ve also worked at authenticity for 40 years. I honor that each person here showed courage in the times they expressed. I have to say that this is more an example of how circling easily falls into talking philosophy, sharing wisdom, talking about past, talking concepts, and being only positive. All of that feels safer, but it’s not deep and not empowering, not transformational. Imo.
    I recommend that people commenting on here re-commit to being kind and respectful. Treat others like you’d like to be treated.

Unfortunately, the world doesn’t work that way to strike a really good balance, stoicism coupled with circling, would really empower people.
